A Hospital Based Study to Assess the Prognostic Implications of Admission Hyperglycemia in Non-Diabetic Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients

Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic implications of admission hyperglycemia in non-diabetic acute myocardial infarction patients. Methods: The study was conducted on 100 non diabetic STEMI patients admitted in Jeevandeep Hospital, Gujarat, India. The study was conducted on 100 non diabetic STEMI patients admitted in Jeevandeep Hospital, morbi, Gujarat, India for the period of one year. There were 50 patients in group I and 50 patients in group II. Results: There were total 58 males and 42 females in the study. Group I had 20 females and 30 males. Group II had 22 females and 28 males. There was no significant difference between the number of males and females in two groups (p= 0.850). The mean age of patients in Group I and Group II were 63.47 ± 12.28 and 62.16 ± 11.36 respectively. Median age in group I and group II were 65 and 62 years respectively. There was no significant difference in patients’ mean age in between the groups (p= 0.612). There were total 22 (22%) smokers in the study of which 11 were in group I and 10 in group II. History of smoking was present in 22% and 20% of patients of Group I and Group II respectively. There was no significant difference in number of smokers in between the two groups (p= 0.314). There were total of 30 patients with history of alcohol consumption in the study. Group I and Group II, both had 15 patients and there was no significant difference in number of patients with history of alcohol consumption between the two groups. The history of hypertension was present in 28 patients out of which 12 patients were in Group I and 16 patients in Group II. There was no statistically significant difference in number of hypertensives between the two groups. Mean heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure between the two groups. There was a statistically significant difference in heart rate, SBP and DBP between the two groups. Conclusion: Hyperglycemia at admission in non-diabetic patients of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction is ...
